IMPROVEMENT IN ROTARY CHURNS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 165,739, dated July 20, 1875; application filed April 24, 1875.

To all whom it may concernI Be it known that I, TILSON LANDT, of Ilion, in the county ot' Herkimer and State of New York, have invented a new and valuable 1mprovement in Ghurns; and I do hereby decla-re that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this speciiication, and to the letters and figures ot' ret'- erence marked thereon.

Figure l ofthe drawings is a representation ot' a longitudinal vertical section of my churn, and Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical sectional view of the same.

This invention has relation to churns; audit consists in the construction and novel arrangement ofthe detach'able reservoir, the currentbottom and its connecting-tubes, and the discharging-faucet, in combination with a churncase and dasher, as hereinafter fully shown and described.

The object of this invention is to provide a churn wherein the temperature ot' the cream can be regulated a-nd cont-rolled during the operation ot' the dash by simple and adequate means, which will not interfere either with the churning process, or with the prior or subsequent operations therewith connected.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates a churn case, having its sides sloping somewhat toward the bottom. B indicates the dash, which may consist ot' a rotary shaft and several blades, U, connected therewith, as shown in the drawings, or may have other forms common in this class of machines. D indicates the churn-top, having its corner cut away at d, for the passage ot' the connecting-pipes ot' the current-bottom and reservoir. E represents the current-bottom, consisting oi' a water-tight metallic conduit, adapted to tit snugly into the bottom of the churn-case proper, under the dash, and entirely beyond its sweep. From one end ot' the current-bottom extends upward, through the top ot' the churn, the pipe e, which is snugly tted into a receiving-groove in the corner of the case, so that it is not likely to be deiiected from its position, and is out of the way ot' the blades of' the dasher. From the other end ot' the current-bottom extends horizontally, through the end of the churn-case, the short connection-pipe c, whereby the water is conducted to the discharging-faucet F, which is screwed into the wall ot' the churn-case, through the opening b in the end thereof, in such a manner as to connect with the pipe a. G indicates the water-reservoir. This is a can or vessel ot' suitable upright form, having a receivingmouth, c, and a discharging-pipe, g, extending downward from one corner or side ot' its shelving bottom It, as shown in the drawings, in order that, when the can is securely seated on the top ot' the churn-cover, the pipe g may be introduced within the vertical connection-pipe e ot' the current-bottom. In using this churn, the reservoir is charged with warm or cool water of such temperature as may be required. The churn-cover having been put in place, the reservoir is seated on top thereof, with its pipe g in connection with the pipe c ofthe currentbottom, into whichthewater passes from the reservoir', and from which it may be discharged, either slowly or rapidly, by means of the regulating-faucet F, according to the condition of the cream, and while the same is in motion through the operation ot' the dash.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Paten t, is-

A rotary churn furnished with the detachable water-reservoir Cr, the current-bottom E, the connecting tube e, and the dischargingfaucet F, all substantially as and for theA purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
